Motivation for this change
CDEwas an attempt to capture a binary and all it's dependencies, to create a portable package - it works by monitoring system calls and grabbing any files that are mentioned. It's quite an old package and doesn't seem to have moved much recently, but it still works well.It works particularly well with
nix, because you can use it along withnix-shellto create standalone tarballs for software that isn't available on old systems (which is more or less how I can across this - just installingnixwasn't an option).Allows a mini
nixto be transported to other systems in a neat way.Things done
(nix.useSandbox on NixOS,
or option
build-use-sandboxinnix.confon non-NixOS)
nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"./result/bin/)
